Unlocking your device automatically

The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to
unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for
example, when it's connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you're carrying it with
you.
To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the
following steps in the order given:
•
Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi connection to
limit data traffic charges.
•
Make sure that all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order
to ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date
Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.
•
Enable Smart Lock.
•
Set when you want your device to unlock automatically.

Connecting to trusted Bluetooth® devices
You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a trusted device and keep your
Xperia™ device unlocked while it's connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth®
devices that you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home
entertainment system, a Bluetooth® watch or a fitness tracker, you can add them as
trusted devices and bypass the added security of the lockscreen to save time. This
feature is suitable if you're normally in a relatively secure place when you use these
